The supply drop cost a minimal of $3 200 if in best standing with the Russian Mafia. That means the player has a maxed out friendly bar on the 'Faction' tab of the PDA.

While the supply drop is cheap and contains valuable health, ammo and grenade packs, close-quarter weapons are not particularly useful in this game as opposed to medium ranged assault weapons like the Light MG, Assault Rifle, Carbine and Prototype Rifle. However, this is just a personal preference of the player.
